1-4 This is really interesting data and worth a breakdown. This is all fatal injuries by month in the US. I've split it into pre-covid and pandemic. I included provisional data, but it only looks like it's going down because that data is incomplete. Image
2- Look at the big jump once COVID came into play. That in itself is alarming.
3- The trend lines also paint a worrisome picture. The rates of these types of death is increasing at a faster rate after the pandemic started than before.
4-4 This all suggests that COVID is leading to more accidental injuries, likely due to increases in brain fog and risk-taking behavior.

I read In the Garden of the Beasts in the spring of 2016, before the melon felon even had the Republican nomination. I found the parallels very disturbing.

2- When he got elected, I decided to fly to Munich to study the rise of Nazism right after the Inauguration. I wanted to understand how what was probably a normal population of people allowed it to happen. I could have just stayed here.
3- During the trip, I visited Dachau. I intentionally went on the rainiest, coldest day during my trip. I knew it would be nothing like the misery that was experienced there, but I wanted to feel something.

1-10 LP.8.1

Back when we had good case data early in the pandemic, I could predict the day cases would climb about 10 days out with nearly 99% accuracy. Unfortunately, that data supply and resolution is long gone.

Now the earliest warning I can give is based on my observations of surges occurring when a variant becomes about 50% of submitted samples.

3- The UK is slightly ahead of the US with about 60% of samples belonging to LP.8.1 and LP.8.1.1

I was asked to talk about the risks of dust in healthcare at a regulatory and accreditation meeting tomorrow, so I put a few slides together this morning for it you might enjoy. Most are my images over the years with a few exceptions.
2- I might be the only person you come across that ties dust bunnies, Godzilla, the ISS, historic architecture preservation, and Monty Python together. There is a strategy to that in making neural connections to reinforce memory. I'll add a description to any slides that need it.

Since hantavirus is trending because of the death of Gene Hackman's wife, I thought I would share some of the bigger picture I wrote on ProMED about 15-20 years ago, tying in West Nile virus (WNV) and climate change.
2- One major route of hantavirus infection is through breathing in the urine and feces of rodents, particularly deer mice. This is a problem particularly in the western US, especially when people clean cabins in the spring.
3- During El Niño, more rain comes to the Four Corners region of the US. This drives two things:

1) The extra rain drives more wild grass/grain production, providing more food for rodents, leading to a rodent bloom.

1- 6 The recipe for healthcare collapse.

Mix in one very top-heavy population pyramid due to the baby boomers hitting the age that they will need much more medical care. Image
2- Add equal parts of a major healthcare worker shortage.

1-3 Someone sent me a study after my piece about MVAs and COVID. It's stunning.

"Findings indicate an association between acute COVID-19 rates and increased car crashes with an OR of 1.5 (1.23-1.26 95%CI)...
2- The OR of car crashes associated with COVID-19 was comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder...
3-3 The study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2."
